Gaming XPS m1530

Ok I just wanted information and opinions on the possibilities around the XPS m1530.

I'm looking to do more work on the road and feel the need for a more portable laptop but I'm still experimenting with the 15 inch screen laptops. I got a couple questions or ya. First of all is the M1530 a decent gaming laptop? I only really do 4 things atm on my lappie: Work, Browse Webpages, play Company of Heros, and watch Blu Ray films.

I hope the m1530 can do it, but by do it I mean do it day in and day out. I'm kind of worried about the complaints I hear about the 8600m GT, and the issues the card has with it. I plan on getting a highly spec'ed out m1530, with the t9300 but I was wondering what sceen size I should go with to compliment the 8600GT. If the lower resolutions still look decent and are less strenuous on the card I think I'm willing to sacrifice it even if I'm watching Blu Rays at a horrid resolution when using the LCD.

I hope the card can at least display on a 1080 screen (Externally) and play Company of Heros fine, if so I'm in good shape.

well honestly 1530 does a good job for gaming, no need for 1730 unless you have the juice, i have played crysis, crysis warhead, fifa09, brothers in arms hells highway with no real problems. brothers in arms hells highway gets laggy sometimes (i play 1024 768 on high), but i fixed that with gpu overclocking too.
don't know anything about blue ray thingy.

and hey don't go for the wsxga+ screen, you better off with wxga+ (1440x900) screen because with this resolution you'll get better fps on most games!
